Usage

Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Component of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Also recognizes 'Lys-26' trimethylated histone H1 with the effect of inhibiting PRC2 complex methyltransferase activity on nucleosomal histone H3 'Lys-27', whereas H3 'Lys-27' recognition has the opposite effect, enabling the propagation of this repressive mark. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems. Genes repressed by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex include HOXC8, HOXA9, MYT1 and CDKN2A.
Gene References into Functions
we present a patient with a clinical diagnosis of Weaver syndrome and novel de novo sequence variant in EED. Our observation together with previous reports [2, 3, 5] suggests that EED gene testing is warranted in patients with the overgrowth syndrome features and suspicion of Weaver syndrome with normal results for EZH2 gene sequencing.PMID:29410511
Data suggest the polycomb repressive complex 2 subunits EZH2, SUZ12, and EED protein axis as promising therapeutic target for treating sarcoma.PMID:29415665
These findings support that Weaver syndrome is a disorder with locus heterogeneity and can be due to pathogenic variants in either EZH2 or EED. This case highlights the utility of exome sequencing as a clinical diagnostic tool for novel gene discovery as well as the importance of re-examination of exome data as new information about gene-disease associations becomes available.PMID:27868325
we have found two unrelated families of different ethnicities, with a similar rare phenotype, both associated with de novo mutations in this member of the PRC2 complex, we are confident that EED is indeed a novel overgrowth gene.PMID:27193220
Mutations of SUZ12 and EED are reported to have tumor suppressive functions. (Review)PMID:27000413

EED, a component of Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) that catalyzes methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27), was involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells induced by Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta).PMID:25264103

Although inactivating mutations in PRC2-encoding genes EZH2, EED, and SUZ12 are present in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and in myeloid malignancies, gain-of-function mutations in EZH2 are frequently observed in B-cell lymphoma.PMID:23982173
EED mutants impair polycomb repressive complex 2 and is associated with myelodysplastic syndrome and related neoplasmsPMID:22733077
Promoter polymorphism of the EED gene is associated with the susceptibility to ulcerative colitis.PMID:22271413
Genetic defects in PRC2 components other than EZH2 are not common in myeloid malignancies.PMID:22308284
The authors found that Sox2 and Eed positively regulate each other's expression and contribute to the maintenance of self-renewal in embryonic stem cells by controlling histone methylation and acetylation.PMID:21540835

EED exerted an antiviral activity at the late stage of HIV-1 replication, which included genomic RNA packaging and virus assembly, resulting possibly from a mistrafficking of viral genomic RNA (gRNA) or gRNA/Gag complex.PMID:17547741
NIPP1 is present in a complex with EED and EZH2 in vivo and has distinct binding sites for these proteins.PMID:17804093
Identification of antibody-, MA-, IN- and EZH2-binding sites at EED's surface provides a global picture of the immunogenic and protein-protein interacting regions in the EED C-terminal domain, organized as a seven-bladed beta-propeller protein.PMID:18302803
the carboxy-terminal domain of EED specifically binds to histone tails carrying trimethyl-lysine residues associated with repressive chromatin marks, and this leads to the allosteric activation of the methyltransferase activity of PRC2.PMID:19767730
